10 Holiday Movies To Watch During The Christmas Break
charlenemaugeri.com

It’s the most wonderful time of the year to snuggle up on the sofa and have a Christmas movie marathon. Here are 10 holiday movies that you need to watch over Christmas break. Some of them are classic that you have probably seen 100 times while others are brand new to your eyes.

1. Elf

Is it even Christmas time if you haven’t seen Elf at least a dozen times. I mean who doesn’t say along “Buddy The Elf, what’s your favorite color” when he says it or scream “Santa! I know him, I know him”?

2. Dr Sesus’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Everyone loves good ole Grinch. You can’t go wrong with this timeless classic. Probably one of Jim Carrey’s best roles.

3. Love Actually

This might not be your typical Christmas movie but it is definitely worth the watch. Warning: If you haven’t seen this movie before I don’t recommend you to watch it with kids.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

I love that this movie is not only appropriate to watch during Christmas but also Halloween. It's the best of both worlds.

5. A Christmas Story

Okay, this is THE Christmas classic. You have no excuse for not watching this movie because TBS literally plays it all day long on Christmas day. You have 24 hours to watch it.

6. The Holiday

Another romance movie to grace your marathon. This is just one of those feel good movies. What’s better than a movie about Christmas? A movie where people fall in love in Christmas time.

7. Home Alone

In theory one would love to be alone, away from the mess and craziness that the Holidays bring into our lives but in reality what is Christmas without your family.

8. The Polar Express

*Tears up because the boy’s parents couldn’t hear the bells anymore which means that they didn’t believe.*

9. The Santa Claus

In theory it would be so cool if your dad ended up being Santa. If you watch the first one you’re probably going to end up watching all 3.

10. The Family Stone

I love movies that have a dysfunctional family who have so much drama and nonsense surrounding them through the holidays. The one where the family fights but end up making up and having a great Christmas. They remind me of my family.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
